Altrove is the most popular restaurant in El Nido. They serve thin crust pizzas cooked in wood burning ovens. We actually ended up going to Altrove Express (serves pizza only) because the restaurant had about an hour and a half wait. Since we were 4 people, we decided to order 3 pizzas. It was more than enough. We got the Marghertia, Pepperoni and the Hungarian Salsiccia. The Marghertia came out first. You can really tell they take pizza seriously here at Altrove. The dough is made daily and each pizza is made to order. The basil was fresh and the cheese was stringy. The only difference I found is that pizza sauce is a bit sweeter in the Philippines. I think everything literally sweeter in the Philippines. The pepperoni was on point. The crust was soft just like other napoleon pizzas back in the States and even in Italy. The only pizza I wasn't in love with was the Hungarian Salsiccia. The sausage was okay. It looked like the pepperoni, but only slightly small. The taste was alright. I was hoping for chucks of Italian sausage pulled apart on the pizza maybe it was wishful thinking. Overall, great pizza! I thought I was going to have 3 weeks pizza withdrawals! Thank you El Nido. Stay cool

I ordered the Hawaiian pizza by mistake, but it was actually good. The pineapples were fresh and The ham did not have a processed taste.. This has a nice casual date atmosphere. However, it can get a little stuffy as there is only one window and only one table for two near it. Surprisingly, it is right next to the beach but you wouldn't know it. the decor inside is nicely done. If you want some thing even more casual, they have another location across the street With an open air rustic environment. Fairly priced dinner menu.

There are two Trattoria Altrov'e branches in El Nido: the restaurant near Corong Corong Beach…read more("Trattoria Altrov'e Italian Cuisine" on G Maps) and the "express" in Town Proper. This Yelp listing currently has the restaurant name associated with the "express" address, so it's a bit confusing! The "express" used to just be take-out, however, as of recently, they also have dine-in! This review is for the "express" located in Town Proper, properly titled "Altrov'e Express" on G Maps. Onto the review! This place has no frills and if you can get in (I would suggest any time after 7:30pm), then do it! They've got pizza and pasta, what more could you ask for? Everyone in the restaurant ordered their own individual pizzas... this is not a place for individual pizzas, lmao. It's a pretty decently sized pizza, so I would strongly suggest sharing -- worst case scenario, you could always order another pizza! But I saw too many people leaving leftover pizza and while some people did take their leftovers back to their hotels ... it just doesn't hit the same. So definitely order a pie to share! We got the Pizza Bianca and as someone who loves tomato based pizzas, this white pizza was pretty good!! The brick-oven pizza was super flavorful and welcome after a whole day of island hopping! Apparently they offer a free ride from the "express" to the Trattoria Altrove Italian Cuisine near Corong Corong Beach -- if I had more time in El Nido, I definitely would have tried it!

It's supposedly known for their pizza, but they weren't serving it at the time my family and I came for a quick bite. We had to convince the employees to make the pizza and we also had a plate of carbonara from their insistence that it would be worth it. After half an hour - we got our food and the pasta was incredibly salty. We told the waitress about the dish and she shrugged us off saying, "That's how he makes it". The pizza was decent, but the owner took his time making the food because he kept singing along to songs playing on their sound system. The funny thing, because there isn't much business right now in February, the owner is literally screaming into the telephone across from us about a fun time he's having with his restaurant. Although it's only ₱900 (about ~$20 US), I personally don't think it's worth eating here.

If you love high-quality gelato, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back again (and again)!

It's also a popular tourist spot to grab a cocktail (nothing craft...think Mai Tais and Woo Woos) and a bite to eat. We had wanted to sit in the sand but the restaurant is overrun by aggressive peddlers trying to sell pearl bracelets to you. The staff does nothing to help so we ended up sitting inside to avoid them. The menu is Filipino and full of favorites. We ended up getting the adobo calamari, prawn sinigang and grilled mackarel. The mackarel was a bit burnt which was disappointing and the adobo calamari chewy. The sinigang was pretty good however. Service was very slow and the restaurant sticky. The bathrooms were squalid and had no handsoap at all (it didn't even look like they ran out...just like it never existed) which only made the whole experience worse. This is one of the most popular spots in El Nido Town which makes me question everyone's travelling preferences. So glad this was a quick visit and we ended up staying in Sibaltan instead!

The shrimp on the sizzling plate was amazing but it is a chef's special so idk if it'll be here for long. The spicy squid was also delicious and tender. Drinks were strongggg, I asked the waitress what was the strongest lol #NeedThat Doggies will come by and will tell you through telekinesis that they are hungry but if you don't mind animals, then you're fine. Anyway live music is a plus. I also had two shots of don julio Anejo so yes it was a lovely dinner. This is not open 24/7 btw so yelp needs to update their hours

In the fairly remote Nacpan Beach, this restaurant's existence is mighty convenient. Basically, all…read morethe van transports from Central El Nido drop you off behind this restaurant and next to the walkway that leads to it. Perhaps a little touristy, but refreshing nonetheless with its lazy seating some of which are swings looking out to beautiful, serene Nacpan Beach. They have eye-catching and refreshing tiki cocktails which they serve in such fun glassware. I had the "More Fun Nacpan" (330 PHP) which was a light, gin-based cocktail made with calamansi juice. This came with a fun cut-out of an orange shaped into a sun! The cocktail was of decent strength but it was most importantly yummy. For food, we ordered the "pork" sizzling sisig and, oddly enough, a Margherita Pizza. The latter seemed to be a big deal with their wood-fired oven in plain view. We actually relished this greatly and, although doughy, I rather enjoyed that extra oomph of yeasty-ness. The sisig, on the other hand, was strange. First off, it was definitely beef and they only dusted something crispy on top. I could not confirm if this was pork skin or what. They had a band playing live music during our stay; some English hits, but Tagalog as well. The best kind of stray dog was begging at our feet while we ate, so cute! You're not a dog lover if their presence bothers you! A nice little spot to relax and escape the sun for a bit. If you need a bathroom, there is one located behind this restaurant as well.

Live band playing was great except it was so loud you couldn't even hear the person sitting in front of you. Since last time they finished remodeling and now have a bar, which you can't sit at but alcohol is display. STAFF DO NOT COMMUNICATE - bar only know what's going on there, waitress has no idea what is going on with our orders or the kitchen! Nor did they know what they had on hand or if things were available. Yes this place is known but - why bother? I guess only if you're going for lobster but there are many other places that will do better. Ordered a large amount of food: Food came out in the most random order soups, oysters, noodles and Shanghai near the end of dinner way through our meal the rice came after having to be flagged down 2x and still not bringing the correct order. Oysters were dry and grilled to dried tidbits, with only calamansi since we didn't want cheese. Beef steak - I have never had beefsteak that tasted like chocolate and banana ketchup. I had to spit it out. Sizzling pusit - never came out the waitress said we didn't order it when it was written on the order tab they they whited out Calamares - didn't come out and they again denied it and whited it out on the order receipt Kinilaw was good, very citrusy and didn't taste fishy. Clam soup mediocre and luke warm Garlic butter shrimp was overcooked. Sinigang mainly consisted of fat and was luke warm did not have enough tamarind base to even call it sinigang. Banana and mango shakes - carried the meal! The waitress was horrible, even when speaking in the dialect she had no idea what was going on. Seriously don't waste your time or money here.

Mind you we were the second guest to arrive the first guest they were just two people. We waited atleast 30mins for the first dish to be served then 5-10mins waiting for the next. Second, The lady server was 0 customer service she looks so pissed serving us, the moment we arrived. She said the platter were 2-3people serving, but in reality its just 1-2 person per plate. Lastly, the Most "Scam" why? We ordered 3 plates of shrimps, it was mostly Head Shrimps the number of head shrimps and the number of shrimp tail are not equal. like 12 heads I counted but only 6pcs of tails.! the worst part they gave us 2 plates and the server said, the cooked mistakenly combined the 2plates order in one plate. So thats already total of 3. We felt scammed like they have the same amount. What was our assurance for their statement. That was over for us. We did not argue we just want to finish our food and leave. For all the tourists visiting, Beware! we Highly NOT RECOMMEND this place! But if you want to risk it go ahead, go waste your time and money . In end you'll end up unsatisfied.
